What Linux distro are you using? Some Greenbone native Linux installations are not actively maintained. I guess that only Kali Linux is active.

This looks like a packaging issue / problem which can’t be solved by Greenbone or the Greenbone Community.

Please raise a new issue for the maintainer of the used packages in the relevant issue tracker for investigation. For Kali this would be e.g.:
